#32 Día de los Muertos with Rodrigo Zarate

In this episode, we journey into the heart of Día de los Muertos, Mexico's cherished "Day of the Dead" celebration.

This rich cultural tradition honors the spirits of loved ones with beautifully arranged "ofrendas" (altars), colorful marigolds, intricate sugar skulls, and traditional food offerings.

Together, we explore how families reunite with ancestors each year, from cemetery gatherings to festive rituals, and the deep significance behind these vibrant customs.

Tune in to learn about the iconic practices that make Día de los Muertos not only a celebration of life and memory but also a profound cultural festival admired around the world.

You'll also learn how ancient processes like nixtamalization—originating from prehistoric times—have transformed maize from a simple staple to a nutritious powerhouse that shaped Mesoamerican civilization.

Rodrigo unpacks the surprising story of how this age-old technique is still used today, supporting local farmers and ensuring authentic flavors.

Listen in to explore the connections between design, tradition, and the colorful celebration of Día de los Muertos in Oaxaca.
